Re: MCCK Generator

It's day trips for fishing with me. 14 hours away from shore power at the most. Primarily, I want to keep the mini fridge running and a pair of 160 amp hour forklift batteries ought to do that. Maybe heat up my lunch in the nuker. I dont use the freezer and I have been keeping that packed with ice ...

Re: MCCK Generator

Thanks for the update Bob. You should take a look at one of the "Pass Through" inverters like I'll be running. It passes the shore power through the inverter and you never have to sorry about switching the power. But a friend of mine is doing your idea with his fridge and it seems to work...

Re: Generator help, you guys were always good to me in the p

Re: Gas Tank Sender Float

not sure how deep your tanks are and sorry i cant help with the float but at the $17 price of this new sender it might just be worth installing it and tossing the old one or stealing the float off of it, the new ones are plastic http://www.amazon.com/Moeller-Marine-Electric-Universal-Sending/dp/B000...

Re: Wiring additional batteries

i responded to one of your posts regarding batteries with a link to a battery load tester did you happen to look at it? still sounds like your batteries need attention. it would save you some effort to be able to test what you have and then replace the bad one in one trip rather than pulling them al...
